L98 tpi 1/4 mile time question!!!!
hi have a 91 z28 5.7tpi and im looking for anyones opinion about my car.
I just got back from the track and had PERFECT TRACTION and 75* air,
best time-
60'-1.8
1/8-8.5 @ 85mph
1/4-13.6 @ 95mph
my mods
full exhaust-shorty headers back, no cat or mufflers
full msd ignition
gutted air box W/ air foil and k&ns
FPR
upgraded injectors
3.73 gears
drag radials
2500 stall
TUNED- ebl f4 flash tuning computer
and some other smaller things
stock block, cam, heads and tpi intake
my question is, is my 1/4 time and mph seem off? I only picked up 10mph and ran a great 1/8th but only a 13.6 1/4. it seems to me that I should be a little faster than that.
(((I ran a 1/8th= 8.9 @ 76mph 1/4= 13.7 @ 98mph before my gears/stall/old computer with a chip/street tires/and stock exhaust w/ dumpoff.))) so after all that I gained only in my 60', and 1/8th mile? seems like I would see a much better 1/4 mile.
***I JUST BOUGHT A HSR MANIFOLD hoping to see the 1/4 mile gain I want.*** do you guys think this will help out???!!!
any and all inputs welcome!!!!

Re: L98 tpi 1/4 mile time question!!!!
Well my best time in my old bone stock L98/auto 3.27 GTA Was 14.8@94 with a mediocre 2.2 60ft. It was a cold az night, car was in good shape. The time you ran isn't bad at all for a stall and full exhaust. The trap seems low, considering I ran only 1mph slower without
Mods. But that could be traction and the stall taking up some trap speed.

Seems like your running good in the 1/8 mile but down 3 mph in the 1/4 after the mod. My only guess is now that your breathing better on the exhaust is the TPI is holding you back on the top end which is typical of the factory TPI intake.

Re: L98 tpi 1/4 mile time question!!!!
a few years back GMHTP did an article on 2 3gs, a couple of LT cars and a couple of LS cars. one of the 3rd gens only had suspension mods exhaust and a few other things and was all bone stock internally and hit a high 12, the other car had a pizza box and was a tad slower because the pizza box moves the RPM range up and pulls TQ out.
this is what will happen when you run with the HSR. the TPI creates gobs of TQ and that's what will net you a fast trap. i'll see if I can find the article and report back.
